The Liposomal Encapsulation Technology And Its Benefits

By Kristen Baird


The utilization of liposome in medical sector started in the mid-1960s, and is currently regarded as one of the medical innovation in the 20th century. Though still young in clinical medicine, liposomal encapsulation technology simply referred to as LET has gained popularity as a possible replacement of most medical administration methods currently in place.

Many scientists, researchers and industrialist alike agree that this technology is likely to revolutionize the oral pharmacological therapy and may soon be in realm of use by any common man. Currently, it provides a safer and a unique way of treating the racehorse without having to use the syringes and needles.

The technology uses phospholipid film or liposome to encase the desired compounds and transport them safely through the gastrointestinal tract without exposing the content to the environmental factors like the moisture, the enzymes, the salts and any other substance within body tissues. Currently, the technology has attracted other users apart from the pharmacists. The beauty product industries and the supplement industries are now turning to LET as an alternative to the conventional methods previously used for the administration of these substances into the body tissues.

Phospholipid liposome is used come up with a defense that is capable of repelling the negative impacts that can result from the body radicals, digestive juices, the alkaline solutions, and even salts. Since the protection only lasts when the compounds are on the way to their target to the moment they reach the targeted tissue, the cells in the targeted tissue immediately allows the compound in and transfers the same into the intracellular space making the method so effective.

The liposomes easily penetrate the cell walls of most living tissues; thereby turning out to be an effective weapon against most pathogens that are disease causing. Its effectiveness is also very highly rated with research findings indicating that 50 grams of Vitamin C delivered directly into the tissue is only as effective as 5 grams of the same delivered through the LET.

Clearly, the advantages of LET over the other forms of drug delivery are many. It allows nutrients to transport power packed natural compounds to the targeted tissues and organs without discomposing the same. This makes a lot of medical and economic sense. Normally, the drugs would be affected by a number of environmental factors as they pass to the tissues. These include oxygen, moisture, differing pH, and enzymes among others. This in addition to factors that affect absorption of nutrients into the body, such as fillers, sugars, binders, and sugar can cause a problem due to incomplete absorption.

The introduction of phospholipids into the body also comes with its advantages, the most common one being its anti aging properties. This is through its ability to cut down on serum lipids, decrease bad cholesterol, increase good cholesterol, and amplify red blood cell fluidity, decrease platelet aggregation, and triglyceride. It is also known to boost immunity, memory quality, exercise tolerance and offers liver protection among several other benefits.

Even with all these potential advantages, the studies are not conclusive of the safety of this technology. It is also advisable to design the most effective drug administration that is a cocktail of this and other conventional methods that have been used for centuries to attain the best results.
